Burn Survivor Mission Saviour (BSMS) Trust is the brainchild of Neehaari Mandali, a burn survivor herself. Neehaari started BSMS Trust with the aim of creating awareness and providing counseling support to fellow burn survivors who had lost hope in their life. Over years, Neehaari has expanded her efforts to help burn survivors with medical interventions to regain their physical capabilities, confidence and lead a normal life. BSMS Trust offers free surgical procedures and post-surgery rehabilitation support to burn survivors.

Post-burn deformities can cause loss of livelihood and more importantly, a loss of self-worth. Though many burn-related deformities can be corrected to help the survivors lead a productive life, tragically many of these potential patients are women and come from a social strata that exclude them from the service loop of reconstructive surgeries. Affordability, lack of awareness, lack of supportive guidance, are some of the bottlenecks.

BSMS Trust’s "Burns to Shine" project helps such burn survivors regain their independence and self-worth through free reconstructive surgeries. Over the past 6 years, the Burns to Shine initiative has facilitated reconstructive surgeries for 112 survivors, conducted counseling & rehabilitation for 850+ survivors, and conducted many awareness programs across Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Kerala.

With this track record, BSMS Trust is looking to increase its impact and aspires to do reconstructive surgeries for 30+ patients in the current financial year. To make this project possible, BSMS Trust is looking to raise INR. 20,00,000/-

Neehaari's work has been extensively covered and she has received numerous awards and recognitions:
